The Drive Home: Ole Miss won to stay on schedule but crank up the QB conversation again
No. 4 Ole Miss avoided disaster Saturday against Washington State.
The Rebels fell behind early and hung on for dear life late in a 24-21 win to improve to 6-0 (3-0 SEC) on the season. They next head to No. 10 Georgia.
“Just really disappointed,” sixth-year Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin said afterwards. “I hope [the players] don’t feel good about it. We didn’t sing a song or any of that stuff [in the postgame locker room].
“I wanted them to understand this is not the standard here. That’s not what we’re supposed to do. We get paid a lot, they get paid a lot. That ain’t the product we’re supposed to put out.”

The Ole Miss Spirit’s Ben Garrett and Brad Logan went LIVE from Vaught-Hemingway Stadium afterwards with full postgame reaction.
Kewan Lacy wasn’t the only Rebel to earn a helmet sticker on an otherwise forgettable day, while the Good, Not So Good and Ugly mostly centered around a quarterback conversation re-ignited after Trinidad Chambliss had his first uninspiring performance.
“Trinidad started slow,” Kiffin said. “Missed a critical in route there on third-and-long. Did make some plays. Overall, he did some good things and made a really critical play, but did not play consistently like he had. It is what it is. You ain’t gonna play perfect every week.”
